abdominal mets

It's been a long time since I've posted but I check in often to see how everyone is doing. I always keep you in my thoughts & prayers.

I need a little help with my last scan which revealed abdominal mets or possibly post surgical changes from the tram flap. Onc is leaning towards mets. Isn't abdominal mets more likely in lobular or er+ bc?

I have posted on other sites but haven't received any responses. Anyone w/ this type of met or know someone that has? Since a baseline scan wasn't done, I will stay on the trial and rescan in 2 months.

It was the people on this site that showed me how to push drs and ask the right questions when I was blown over by this cancer dx. I am so grateful. In a few months I will have a teenager. Wow, I made it this far.
